Hello,

I have never understood the logic behind having those files on every card
every single time you copy something.
I just go in and delete them, but wonder if in the software, there is an
option to check so that those files do not transfer.
As far as the sale, that is indeed a good price.

I have never formatted a card with Bookport before using it, either. 
Actually, when I used the Transfer tool to send a file to the Bookport with
a new compact flash card, I found that the transfer tool had put other
files, such as the Bookport manual on the card besides the book that I was
transferring.

BTW: thanks to whomever told us about the sale on the 2GB compact flash card
on Zip Zoom Fly.  I immediately purchased it because it was a really good
deal.  You can't beat $121 with a $20 rebate and freeshipping
